Yeah, I knew that part. I will say Sandy has done well when it comes to trades, getting Thor and d'Arnaud for Dickey and Thole, getting Bruce for Dilson Herrera and Max Wotell, and the Cespedes trade was 50/50 IMO since Fulmer was ROY and an All-star this season but Cespedes carried us into the playoffs until Murphy took over.
But, I agree with you. I hate the Moneyball methods, but, that was Oakland. I feel he would spend more if he got the okay from the Wilpons.
